Marc's Story
"It's been just over 6 years since Marc's leukemia relapsed, after 11 months in remission. At that time he was only given 6 months, unless a bone marrow donor could be found."

Cherri's Story
"In April 2007, at age 43 Cherri fell ill with strep throat and pneumonia, which lead to an unknown cancer. One month after recovery she could not walk."

Steven's Story
"What would you do to have the chance to help save someone's life? Many people have never heard of the Unrelated Bone Marrow Donor Registry (UBMDR). What is it, how does it work, and how do you get on it are all questions I have been answering a lot lately."

Kelle's Story
"My message to all who want to become a donor... DO IT! This procedure is something that is not to be feared. There was little discomfort and the recovery time is minimal. Most of all the rewards for becoming a donor is priceless."

Julia's Story
"If not for her anonymous donor we never would have had the privilege and honor to see her grow and develop into the wonderful person she is becoming. We certainly cherish every moment we have with her."

Bryan's Story
"It made Katie smile to see dad getting a shot. She got more than a couple shots while she was in the hospital and finally it was someone else's turn."
